A high-contrast italic serif with a pronounced rightward slant and clear, bracketed serifs. Strokes show strong thick–thin modulation with tapered, calligraphic terminals, and curves carry a diagonal stress that reads as traditionally drawn rather than geometric. Capitals are relatively narrow and poised, while the lowercase features compact bowls and a steady x-height, producing a lively rhythm without feeling compressed. Figures align with the same italic construction, with open counters and sharp, clean joins that keep the texture crisp at text sizes.
Well-suited for long-form and editorial typography where an italic is used for emphasis, citations, or narrative voice, including books, magazines, and essays. It also performs strongly in display-like italic applications such as pull quotes, headings with a classical feel, and formal printed materials where elegance and hierarchy are important.
The overall tone is classic and literary, projecting refinement and formality with a distinctly editorial voice. Its calligraphic energy adds sophistication and a sense of tradition, making the page feel composed and well-mannered rather than casual.
The design appears intended as a conventional text italic with a traditional, calligraphy-informed construction, providing strong contrast and a refined serif vocabulary for sophisticated reading environments. It prioritizes an even paragraph color while retaining enough flourish to make emphasis and headline use feel expressive.
Letterforms show consistent slanted axis and careful serif shaping across cases, with lively entry/exit strokes in the lowercase that create a fluent line. The texture in paragraphs appears even for an italic, with clear word shapes and strong emphasis potential thanks to the contrast and slant.
